UN calls Israel ill-treatment of Palestinian minors 'systematic'
The ill-treatment of Palestinian minors held within the Israeli military detention system is "widespread, systematic and institutionalized," a report Wednesday by the UN children's fund found.
Over the past decade, Israeli forces have arrested, interrogated and prosecuted around 7,000 Palestinian children aged between between 12 and 17, most of them boys, the report said, noting the rate was equivalent to "an average of two children each day." (AFP)
